Starting a new chicken thread for the new year. Hopefully everyone will have healthy flocks with tons of eggs!
Yeah it was probably cruel to put it through seeing that.😅The last chick looks terrified. No wonder with that picture in the background.
When they put in the order, they were given the option for a mystery chick. We do think he his a rooster, and that was a risk my sisters knew they were taking when selecting for a mystery addition. I hadn't thought about asking the hatchery. 🤔 I guess there wouldn't be any harm in trying. However, we are almost certain it is a Bielefelder rooster chick from Murray Mcmurray description of what the chicks look like. They aren't unhappy that he's a rooster. 🙂@MellonFriend would the hatchery be able to share what the mystery chick is? Or was it a mystery to them as well? 😅
Hopefully not a little roo since your sisters already included a couple on their order!
